Postdoctoral Scholarship, Bureaucratisation of African Societies | German Historical Institute (Senegal)
This announcement invites (a) (future) PhD students and (b) young postdocs, who are able to complete successfully their own research, which follows the general thematic frame of the project on “The bureaucratisation of African societies”. This topic will be considered in regard to politics, economy or society and religion in Africa and the African diaspora. The project addresses explicitly, but not exclusively, also non-state and informal bureaucratic practices and experiences, such as in the informal sector or in associations. Projects may consider, for example, processes of formalisation and data collection, or the spaces, materiality or imaginaries of bureaucratic practices, etc. The regional focus and time period are open, and not limited to Senegal.
